I'm very pro-mask as a reasonable measure for controlling transmission however masks have been politicized and turned into a symbol of in/out group dynamics on both the left and the right. Masks are now triggers to the extremists on both sides and it's impossible to act reasonably and please either group as I'm either seen as a fascist anti-masker or a recruit in the red army. It seems the loud minority on both sides can only think in a Hitler/Stalin dichotomy with zero nuance. I choose to ignore the unreasonable and do what I think is good and reasonable and above all charitable, despite the discomfort.
